2nd story bathroom, drain &vent, please help!!!

Hello everyone!I am adding a second story bathroom on top of the 1st story bathroom.1st story bathroom has a 3" drain under the slab, for the toilet, toilet is vented thru 2" pipe and sink discharges into this vent. So it looks like this:

II ---U lvI /I/I======U WC

=== is a 3" pipe, --- is 2" pipe, I is a 2" vent and U is a water trap,

I plan to cut the 3x3x2 tee out, replace it with 3x3x3 tee and run a 3" stack up to the second story, so i can drain a toilet down. The sink and a toilet will be along the same wall and a shower 8' away.I was hoping to make it simple, run this 3 inch stack to the 2nd floor, it would change to 2" at the tee between the joists and 2" will serve as a vent for both 1st and 2nd floor toilets.

I am not sure if I can drain my sinks and shower into the same stack. and also if i need any extra vents. The way i drew it, that 2nd story shower and a sink will have a separate vent and will drain below 2nd story toilet. Should I extend this 2" stack all the way down and try to drain it into horizontal 3" pipe before the 1st floor toilet vent? I am looking for the simplest solution, horizontal pipe is under the slab and I want to avoid a lot of concrete braking

I would highly appreciate an advice from the professional. Our project is way over budget and we cant afford a licensed plumber to do the work. I pulled a building permit and it means the plumbing will have to pass an inspection.

Please, let me know if it meets the code and if it will work without any issues.
Thanks a lot!

No it will not meet code. You are creating a wet vent for the first floor drains.( Drain water from the second floor is flowing past the first floor vents.) Run the new 3 inch line from the second floor drain back to the 3 inch main drain (horizontal pipe). Tie in the second floor vent into the 3 inch going thru the roof.

Not sure your existing first floor arrangement meets code either, but it existing.

ok ,so i guess i have to preserve a separate vent for the 1st floor toilet and sink, right?

I updated a diagram, also, what fittings should I use?
The whole horizontal 3" pipe is under the slab, and that new vent would have to be under the slab too and have a small horizontal section till it meets the wall. How can I add a horizontal 2" vent to the horizontal 3" drain?

Also, is it OK to have a shower trap 8' away from the vent?

Thanks!

I would tie the second floor SH(ower) into the vent. And tie the first floor BT (tub) into the vent. Use a 3/3/2 tee.
